Juke Joint Lyrics by Johnnie Taylor

Gotta Get the Groove Back

1999

Every town got one y’all – will you help me find the ...
Juke joint where it at (I feel lucky tonight)
Uptown cross the tracks
In every town I go in, there’s a place
Everybody knows
Doors don’t open ‘til after hours
When the last one leaves that’s when they close
BYOB – Bring your own booze
Got a pocket full of money
I ready, ready to lose
Gotta find me a -
Juke joint where it at (they tell me it’s uptown)
Uptown cross the tracks (cross the tracks) oh yeah…
Will you help mе find the
Juke joint (yeah) whеre it at (where it at y’all)
Uptown cross the tracks (oooh yeah)
Jukebox on the corner pool tables on the right
Show me the gambling room I feel lucky tonight (let it roll)
3:00 o'clock in the morning I can't go home
Find me a big leg woman dance all night long
Don't worry about the police nobody's gonna call
It's all about a good time in this whole in the wall
Gotta find me a -
Juke joint (yeah) where it at (where it at y’all, they said it’s uptown)
Uptown cross the tracks (cross the tracks) oh yeah…
We’re gonna find me a
Juke joint (give it to me again yeah) They said its
Uptown cross the tracks (oooh yeah)
Juke joint where it at (yeah alright now)
Uptown (need me one) cross the tracks (uh huh they tell me )
I feel lucky tonight
Got a pocket full of money, I’m ready to spend
I knew when I got here, when I first walked in
Don't worry about the police nobody's gonna call
It's all about a good time in this whole in the wall
Gotta find me a -
Juke joint (yeah) where it at (where it at y’all, they said it’s uptown)
Uptown cross the tracks (cross the tracks) oh yeah…
We’re gonna find me a
Juke joint They said its
Uptown cross the tracks (oooh yeah)
Jukebox on the corner pool tables on the right
Show me the gambling room I feel lucky tonight
(chorus at the same time)
Don't worry about the police nobody's gonna call
It's all about a good time in this
Juke joint
Juke Joint
Juke Joint
Juke joint where it at
Juke joint where it at
Uptown cross the tracks
Juke joint where it at
Uptown cross the tracks
